Description
Summary:"Fundamentals of IP. Are Neanderthal genes patentable? May a fan write Harry Potter 8? Could Amazon.com shut down Amazon Books, a women's bookstore? Is there copyright in a student's class paper? Could a new rapper style herself M&M without infringing on the other rapper or the candy in a wrapper? This clear and colorful introduction to intellectual property gives the lay of the land, covering the fundamental pillars of copyrights, patents, and trademarks, as well as more far-reaching topics like international and internet intellectual property, and indigenous people and IP. Not meant to be a book for lawyers or law students, it uses entertaining examples and provocative questions to explain the precepts and encourage more exploration"--Unedited summary from book cover.
